2 Samuel 3:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

Abner Decides to Join David

⁶ As the families of Saul and David fought each other, Abner became more and more powerful in Saul’s army. ⁷ Saul had a slave woman named Rizpah daughter of Aiah. Ish Bosheth said to Abner, “Why did you have sexual relations with my father’s servant woman?”

⁸ This made Abner very angry. He said, “I have been loyal to Saul and his family. I did not give you to David. I am not a traitor working for Judah.^[a] But now you are saying that I did this bad thing.
